The Buccaneers (10-1) outscored the Sailfish (5-10) outscored PBA, 43-28, in the second half. Barry connected on 16 of 21 free throws in the second half after shooting a paltry 5 of 14 in the opening half.

In a game with nine lead changes and 11 ties, the Buccaneers limited the Sailfish to nine second-half field goals. PBA and Barry both shot 5 of 20 from three-point range, and both teams shot in the 60s from the free throw line.

Barry's Yunio Barrueta recorded his fourth double-double of the season, scoring 16 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. He was 6 of 14 from the floor. Deric Hill had 18 points, six assists and two steals.

Palm Beach Atlantic shot 55.6 percent in the first half to take a 41-35 lead. But the Bucs outrebounded the Sailfish, 31-23, accounting for a 17-9 edge in second chance points, in the second half.

After Clayton Williams scored with 11:25 to play to knot the game at 50-50, Barry went on a 9-3 run over the next 2:11, capped off by Barrueta's dunk off a steal by Savad Garner. PBA cut it to four on four more occasions -- the latter with 2:18 to play when Williams sank a pair of free throws -- but the Bucs made six straight free throws to help salt the game away.
